本研究的目的為探討社區老人對護理之家的居住意願及其影響因素。對台北縣市四個社區415位65歲以上老人的調查發現，21.7%的老友回答將來身體不好需人照顧時，願意居住護理之家。又向對數複廻歸分析發現，在控制其他重要相關變項下，外省籍、無子女同住、及患較多慢性病的老人具較高的居住意願。

The study aims to examine the factors associated with the willingness of community elderly to reside in a nursing home as their long-term care arrangement. Information from a survey of 415 older adults living in four communities around Taipei Area indicated 21.5% agree that they would move to a nursing home if they become sick and need others' help. The result of multiple logistic regression suggested that moving to a nursing home was more likely to be agreed by mainlanders, the older adults not living with their children, and those with more chronic conditions.
